President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan warned New Yorkers will see increased federal immigration enforcement ahead of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani taking office.
Homan, during an interview on Fox News Tuesday morning, also said he plans to hold Mayor Eric Adams’ administration accountable for its commitment to reopen ICE’s office on Rikers Island.

“Me and Mayor Adams at one point had an agreement to let ICE into Rikers Island so we could arrest the public safety threats and the safety and security of that facility, but the City Council shut it down,” he said on “Fox & Friends.”
Homan also said he planned on coming back to the Big Apple soon, and that there would be more immigration agents on city streets, as part of a federal crackdown that has already made headlines.

“I plan on being in New York City in the near future. We’re gonna do operations in New York City — we’re already there now, the teams are there now,” he said.

“But we will increase the enforcement presence in New York City,” Homan added. “Again, because they’re a sanctuary city and there are public safety threats hitting the streets every day.”
The vows come just weeks before Democratic socialist Mamdani is set to be sworn in as mayor, replacing Adams, who had been an ally of Homan and the Trump administration.
